A truly extraordinary moment in the world of sports tonight
Nearly forty years ago Bruce Jenner, all muscle and grit, burst
into the national consciousness while capturing Olympic glory
and tonight Caitlyn Jenner draped in a glamorous white dress having recently
become perhaps the most famous face in the transgender community
received a major honour at the ESPYs ladies and gentlemen
the courageous the stunning Caitlyn Jenner
a standing ovation tonight for an athlete who became
an American hero at the Olympics and may now be changing
America itself. Caitlyn Jenner kissing her mother
and then walking to the stage at the ESPYS right here on ABC
to accept the Arthur Ashe courage award
it's been eye opening inspiring but also frightening
all across this country right now all across the world at this very moment
there are young people coming to terms with being transgender
with help from Angelina Jolie's stylist Jenner
sparkled in a stunning for Sochi dress a stark contrast
to Bruce Jenner the athlete we've known for decades
the chiseled sportsmen with the all-american good looks
setting a world record in the grueling decathlon in the 1976 Olympics
10 events over two days pushing the limits
of human strength speed and endurance
the former Olympic champ once regarded as the world's greatest athlete
now championing something greater this transition has been harder on me than
anything I could imagine and that's the case for so many others besides me
for that reason alone trans people deserve something vital
they deserve your respect
her speech was preceded by a moving video tribute narrated by John Ham
which traced Jenner's extraordinary personal
arc from Olympic great to corporate pitchman
to reality show Dad to isolated individual trying to maintain privacy
under the glare of the paparazzi Jenner went in for procedure to reduce is about
to reduce his adam's apple.
there was a picture of my dad crying in his car that was really really
hard to see cuz my dad does not crack
perhaps the most emotional moment in her speech tonight
when Caitlyn thanked her children always wanted my children to be so proud of their dad.
what he was able to accomplish in his life you guys have given so much back to
me
you have given me so much support I am so so
grateful to have all of you in my life. her words
striking a chord with many viewers tweeting Caitlyn Jenner you have shown
again that you continue to be a champion
and Caitlyn Jenner equals courage
daughter Kylie Jenner saying I love my dad
it's been six weeks since Jenner first
introduced the world to Caitlyn this behind-the-scenes video from Vanity Fair
showing renown photographer Annie Leibovitz taking Jenner's pictures for the
magazine's
you could see the physical transformation and also sense
the emotional relief. Bruce always had to tell a lie
he was always living that lie every day
always had a secret from morning till night
Caitlyn doesn't have any secrets. Tonight Jenner
made a point to thank our own Diane Sawyer. "You can only tell your story the
first time once and Diane you did it
so authentically and so gracefully
I look at guys and I go he's comfortable in his own skin
you know I thought would not be a nice way to go through life
I look at women all the time thinking oh my god how lucky are they that they
can
wake up in the morning and be themselves
but me I'm stuck here in the middle
I got nowhere to go despite the sometimes paralyzing fear what other
people might think the feelings of potential regret finally
swayed Jenner if I die
which I could be diagnose next week with cancer and bump could be gone
I be so mad at myself that I didn't explore that side of me
judge
as we see in the docu-series "I am
Cait" those challenges still play out daily
even in light-hearted way now I know why
girls need a sports bra and tonight at the SB's
from our sister network ESPN also owned by our parent company Disney
that transformation continued. Jenner
up on stage embracing her voice in the transgender community
I know I'm clear with my responsibility in going forward
to do whatever I can to reshape the landscape how trans-issues
are viewed. Just last week she wrote the first ever series
online articles exploring LGBT issues writing
up until now I've totally isolated myself from the transgender community
so I have a lot of catching up to do. "and while it may not be easy to get past the
things you always don't
understand I want to prove that it is absolutely possible
if we only do it together
thank you Subtitles End: mo.dbxdb.com
